Shipston Road tree cutting related to improvements- not the relief road

Rumours that tree felling around Stratfordâs Shipston Road roundabout are connected to the construction of the controversial South Western Relief Road have been quashed by the county council.
Concerns about the felling of a number of mature trees at the site near Waitrose in recent weeks prompted some readers to get in contact with the Herald.
While there was anger over the removal of the well-established trees without explanation, rumours began to emerge that the work was in some way connected to the relief road.
The road project, which is currently stuck within the planning process, has long proved divisive in Stratford, prompting the formation of the Stratford Residents Action Group, with the slogan âwrong road, wrong placeâ.
